ISLAND NEWS PAGE

Charlottetown and Queens County

By RALPH AME . Guardian-Patriot Staff Writer

“The situation is only fair at present.” Police Chief Charles MacArthur said yesterday of the problem of overnight park- lng on city streets.

He said the police were ticket- Ing approximately 30 cars each night and hoped owners of these vehicles would stop using the streets for a parking lot. “Some of these persistent offenders are going to wake up some morning and find their cars have been towed away.

“The police department has to be on the alert." Chief MacArth- ur stated. “because we ne know when that big storm will come. When it does cars have to be off the streets.”

NOTES DIFFERENCE

The Chief. however. remark- ed there was a difference in night parking of taxis and ordin- ary automobiles. He said the taxis were under observation of the drivers at all times and it was a simple matter to tell the driver a snow plow was coming and “he gets his car out of there fast.”

Bill there was a much differ- ent problem with other cars since late at night police were unable to locate the owner of a

tention of moving his car wheth- er it storms or not."

With the mild weather obtain- ing at present, though, Chief MacArthur said the police were faced with another problem ev- en more serious. He said the complete disregard of churchgo- ers for parking regulations was demanding attention by authori-

les. .

EachiSunday morning. he. stated. grave traffic problems were created by people leaving their cars jammed up in ar- eas. even when they are plainly marked as 'no parking' sections. He said in some instances seri- ous hazards were being creat- ed. in the event that fire depart- ment equipment had to move in- to the territories in question.

The length and bulk of fire engines and ladder trucks mak- es plenty of navigable room necessary. especially near th e corners where they might have to turn, the Police Chief said.

He concluded with a plea to all motorists to make matters easier to plow streets by keep- ing their cars off them at night. and make the city safer from fires by observing parking re- gulations.

The possibility exists that spe cial police may be assigned to church areas to direct motorists Sunday mornings.
